Ballard FC Returns To The Pagliacci Pitch For Their Home Opener On May 23

Our favorite hyper-local soccer club is back! As believers in all things local, we’re thrilled to renew our partnership for another season. A community-driven, local football club depends on the dedicated group of small, local businesses that have partnered with it — and the passionate fanbase that roared from day one and only grows louder.

Ballard FC — a men’s semi-professional side competing in USL League Two — capped the 2024 season with another division title. The 2025 campaign also brings the inaugural season for Salmon Bay FC, Ballard’s new women’s side and sister team. Both clubs will play on the Pagliacci Pitch at Interbay Stadium. Ballard FC returns after a one-season stint at Memorial Stadium in 2024. Check out the 2025 schedules: Ballard FC | Salmon Bay FC.

On match day, show your ticket at any Pagliacci location serving slices to get a second slice free (excludes UW locations and Valley). Our Magnolia store is just a block away from the stadium. Plus, select fans at the games will have a chance to compete for $100 Pagliacci gift cards!

To celebrate the season, all Pagliacci stores will carry Reuben’s Up The Bridges through July 8. Named for Ballard FC’s battle cry, Up The Bridges is a crisp, clean, hoppy American Pale Ale. Amber-gold with a sturdy malt spine, it blends Cashmere, Michigan Chinook, and Cascade hops for a subtle lift of citrus and herbs, finishing brisk and dry. Reuben’s Brews — a Ballard FC partner from the start and now also backing Salmon Bay FC — teamed with the club to craft a beer worthy of both squads.

Field-level seats sell fast, but $15 bleacher spots and $12.50 standing-room tickets are still available. There isn’t a bad seat, and the atmosphere is community-driven, accessible, and fun for all ages. Visit goballardfc.com for tickets and more information.
